Stuff *In Trek* that annoys the hell out of you

[Sionnach Glic]

Damn straight.

And I almost won that battle, Deep. I would've gotten you eventualy.

"Butt-crack-on-head" aliens. I know make-up is expensive and time consuming, but maybe have less consoles blowing up and there will be some cash for something besides head cracks/ridges/bony protrusions.

Yes, but one big blue thing with a hominid shape has its genitals on its knees!

How exactly does this make sense? Just think of the number of times you bang your knee into something, for the Wormhole's sake! This species can't possibly be symmetrical - women growing babies on their knees? How does this thing copulate?

I'm not angry like I may sound, just really confused, in case you're wondering.

No you absolutely should be angry. The guys who wrote that bit of asshattery were insulting your intelligence. Where is the science in having genitals on your knees? Fiction, sure. Science, never. That was meant for nothing but a cheap laugh. Only thing cheesier would be if Kirk fought an alien that farts every time he hits it.

[Deepcrush]

No, I'm violence, Rochey is anger. Get it right!

That was pretty funny though.

What the hell's this about knee-located genitals?

On that note, Ocampan reproduction p*sses me off to ne end. Forget the Kazon, those lot were screwed long before those weird-headed freaks showed up.

Bull, I lost my phasers but I still had my QTLs and a few more turns I would have had warp back. You got owned and you know it!

All the "ground war" BS the Dominion War spawned. A future galactic power's army should not be defeatable by a modern one.

But, we see it on the show which means its cannon!

More like, spoken as anyone with half a brain. I've never been a soldier, and will never be one - but the idiocy shown in 'Trek ground-pounding tactics was apparent even to me.

Ya...it's hard for even me to come up with an excuse for it. And that's saying something, cause I can come up with some weird stuff. Not as weird as Deep's rolling phaser emitter idea which wasn't even a necessary explination, but still, I can usually come up with something.

I can only surmise that the entire military records of Earth and it's local allies were destroyed in a horrible fire related accident and all military personel and hobbyists became Terry Schivo at the same time. Of course for this to work, the average Milky Way citizen would have to be lobotomized so they don't realise that "hey I don't get shot if I take cover behind this rock!"
